Everton, Leeds and Leicester are desperate not to pass Coventry or Luton on the way down. It’s a massive last day in Germany and for Harry Kane’s wave...
They too had the chance to take control of their own destiny by beating Newcastle on Monday night. Dean Smith didn’t fancy their chances and he made no apologies for sitting in and playing for a point that means their superior goal difference could still be a factor come Sunday evening.
James Maddison and Harvey Barnes will be back in the XI, perhaps for the final time, as the Foxes set about the Hammers in search of the win they need. They will create chances. That has rarely been a problem for Leicester. In four of Smith’s seven matches in charge, they have recorded a higher xG than their opponent. In one exception against Everton, they still had an xG of 3.06.
After the trip to Leeds, Kane will arrive at a crossroads as he approaches the final year of his contract at Spurs. He’s kept quiet so far on which direction he intends to take, but everyone will be looking for clues on what could be his last appearance for his boyhood club.The play-offs are brilliant, aren’t they? The semi-finals delivered yet again, as, while all the ties were settled either by a single goal or penalties that prompted wild celebrations and premature pitch invasions.
The Championship final kicks us off on Saturday afternoon and this season, it’s the £170million game between Luton and Coventry. Sunday is Stockport and Carlisle’s turn under the arch as they scrap for a place in League One, before much of South Yorkshire descends on Wembley on Monday afternoon for Wednesday versus Barnsley.With titles sealed in England, Italy and Spain, and the French race all but run, it’s left to Germany to provide some final-day summit shenanigans.
